Spe­cial fea­tures

Sub­jects
"Sub­jects Au­thor­ity" is a list of sub­ject terms that EB­SCO­host as­signs to the art­icles. Use these terms to nar­row or broaden your search res­ults – or as in­spir­a­tion for find­ing oth­er rel­ev­ant keywords.
Lists of journ­als
Un­der "Pub­lic­a­tions Au­thor­ity", you can lim­it your search to spe­cif­ic journ­als, browse their tables of con­tents and see which pub­lic­a­tion years are in­cluded in the data­base.
Ex­port ref­er­ences
Send ref­er­ences dir­ectly from EB­SCO to Mendeley. This makes it easy to re­vis­it the art­icles you want to use in your as­sign­ments or pa­pers.
Peer re­viewed art­icles
Art­icles that have been peer re­viewed are marked with a spe­cial “Peer re­viewed” la­bel.
